<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Classic Bradbury, this collection of tales offers images that are as keen as a tattooist's needle and as colorful as the inks that stain the body. Featuring a new Introduction, "The Illustrated Man" presents 18 startling visions of humankind's destiny, unfolding across a canvas of decorated skin.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><em>"Sometimes at night I can feel them, the pictures, likeants, crawling on my skin. Then I know they're doing what they have to do . . . "</em><br/><em> </em><br/>Fantasy master Ray Bradbury weaves a narrative spanning fromthe depths of humankind's fears to the summit of their achievements in eighteeninterconnected stories--visions of the future tattooed onto the body of anenigmatic traveler--in <em>The Illustrated Man</em>, one of the essential classicsof speculative fiction from the author of <em>The Martian Chronicles</em>, <em>DandelionWine</em>, and <em>The October Country</em>.<p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br><p>You could hear the voices murmuring, small and muted, from the crowds that inhabited his body.</p><p>A peerless American storyteller, Ray Bradbury brings wonders alive. <em>The Illustrated Man</em> is classic Bradbury-- eighteen startling visions of humankind's destiny, unfolding across a canvas of decorated skin. In this phantasmagoric sideshow, living cities take their vengeance, technology awakens the most primal natural instincts, Martian invasions are foiled by the good life and the glad hand, and dreams are carried aloft in junkyard rockets. Provocative and powerful, Ray Bradbury's <em>The Illustrated Man</em> is a kaleidoscopic blending of magic, imagination, and truth--as exhilarating as interplanetary travel, as maddening as a walk in a million-year rain, and as comforting as simple, familiar rituals on the last night of the world.</p>
